The Alien Invasion

An alien flew in his U.F.O to Venus,
Whoever invented the shuttle was a genius.
For some reason though he started to burn,
This never would of happened on Saturn.

The alien needed to fly home fast,
He did come home at last.
The alien came home very soon,
As he does live on Neptune.

Tomorrow the alien will be three,
He can go to Earth finally.
The alien wanted to go since he was one,
This is going to be a lot of fun.

Very soon the alien had to go to his bed.
So he brushed his sharp teeth and went in his quilt coloured blood red.
He thought about going to Earth all night,
The people were going to get a huge fright.

One day I was looking into space,
I was thinking what a wonderful place.
I was looking at all the stars,
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

I can see red planet Mars,
And I’m not talking about the chocolate bars.
I can see the red hot sun,
I’m hoping my eyes won’t burn.

The crescent moon shone bright,
What a beautiful sight.
Mercury is not tall,
In fact it is a little small.

I saw some comets made of ice,
They’re not as small as mice.
Good bye moon,
See you soon.

Did you hear about the space race?
Their pace is not slow, it is a real show.
The RU is on the chase,
Hope they don’t trip on their lace.

If you send a space man into space,
He will fly into a better place.
Everyone wants to get a car on to Mars,
No I’m not talking the chocolate bars.

I would like to live on Venus that’s no lie
But I’m scared I would be crushed and die like a piece of pie.
On Venus it’s over a thousand degrees,
I would melt like stringy cheese.
My face would turn purple then blue
Oh well there goes my stew !

Some nights I look in the dark night sky
and see the fiery stars shine bright up high,
Poor old space station that was the tech but now is a little speck,
When he comes throttling back to earth it’s a complete wreck.

When I look out into space,
I see stars all over the place.
I see the moon up in the sky,
Up past where aeroplanes fly.

I see Mercury, Venus, Mars,
And Saturn clustered in loads of stars.
Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune too,
Can’t see Pluto, need a telescope I assume.

I see a flash of light, a meteor!
I can barely see it, it’s just a blur.
Now there’s a rocky asteroid,
Once I’ve seen it I’m overjoyed.
Chunk of ice, it’s a comet,
I wonder what they’d look like from a rocket

Bright blue light, must be the ISS
Astronauts there get trained to their best.
I see a tiny, shiny, satellite,
I can never see this stuff in the daylight

Everything I see outside,
It brings the stars great pride.
Stars and planets you can’t see in the light
All the different things I see at night

At the begging of last term we started to get kindness missions. These are little challenges that one or two people in the classroom get every day. To find out if you had a mission or not before break you had to look in the jam jar with your name on it. Inside you would either find a piece of paper saying “you are an awesome and amazing person but today you do not have a mission.” Or you would have a sheet of paper with a mission on it. The missions could be anything that would make a person feels nice. Like compliment everyone in the school.

If you had completed a mission at the end of the day you would tell Mr Hewitt who would put a piece of popcorn on to our chart.

We were promised that when we finished the entire chart we would get to watch a movie with juice, popcorn and sweets

When we finished our chart on Tuesday we were super excited to being able to watch a movie the next day. The movie we chose was cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 and we all really enjoyed it and especially loved the foodimals.

Today we made posters on shrove Tuesday in groups. Primary 1-7’s all got a coloured piece of paper with our names on it. Then we had to find the people that had the same coloured piece of paper as you.

The orange group was Hermione, Erin, Sophie and Aidan. The purple group was Me, Nicol and Kyle. The gold group was Lewis, Jason, Fraser and Emmy. The grey group was Nicola, Laura, Noah and Katie. The blue group was Stephanie, Emma, Bethanie and Abby.

So once we got into our groups we had about forty-five minutes to find out what shrove Tuesday was, what lent was. We had to draw pictures of something to do with pancakes and finally we had to find a pancake recipe. If we didn’t finish it all in the time we were given we wouldn’t get to make pancakes the next day. It was break time and we still had eight minutes left so Mr Hewitt paused the timer.

Once we restarted the timer after break we got the last things done. Then we got seven minutes to stick all the stuff we did and make a poster. We all Finished in time so we all get to make pancakes tomorrow.

One off Wednesdays is when everyone chooses a Wednesday to present a topic of their choice. First you present a presentation on the topic then you give the activities for the topic. You present it in 45 minutes. We have one off Wednesdays every year. Some of the best one off Wednesdays was when we painted our canvases for our bedrooms. It was fun because we got to work with paint.
Another great one off Wednesday was on The London Olympics. We coloured in the Olympic rings and we made up our own sports.
Another good one off Wednesday was on karate where we did karate punches.
Another one was Erin’s cows she told us about her cows. We had to unmuddle cow names and we had to draw a cow on the back of the paper.
Erin did another one on her horse Star. She took in Star and told us about him.

The Little Farm

On the farm in Skeld there’s cows, 3 big horses and 5 ponies and they’re all Girls par one whose name is Hendry and he was the little one. The owner Jim was away because he went to buy some bulls and there was a Boy there looking after the farm. The boy was kind of shy .The boy was called Bob and he was scared because all their bulls are very wild, and there 8 of them and there all Charlie Bulls.

One day a lady Came to the farm here name was Ruby. She was just here because she was training Hendry because he is very naughty and she was trying to train two of the bulls. They were very wild so Jim said that she would need to be careful.

Next it was Wednesday and Ruby had trained all the bulls. Later on that day two of the bulls got out because Ruby had forgot to lock the gate. Jim and John had to get some gates and try to catch the bulls. They got them in a corner and they got the helter on them and got them in the trailer and back home to the bier so they will not get out. Ruby would not come again.
On Thursday there was a storm, a bit of the roof came off of the shed and it flew of with all the wind and it crashed against the shed wall and Jim felt it shake. So the next morning when the storm had stopped Jim went out to feed the bulls and the other half of the shed roof came off it was kind of old so Jim did not care .He borrowed a crane and once it was sunnier he got his brother to help .Next he got the iron sheets on the shed roof.
Next it was time for the show. Everyone loved the show .The show had lots of fun things because there was 80 bulls going to the show and there 80 horses going too. Jim wanted his two bulls to win the champions because he has won 3 years in a row .If he wins this time he will win a prize. So Jim took his bulls to the show. When it was his turn he led them around the showroom, he was happy because he had a good feeling he was going to win this year. The judges liked the bull because it was the cleanest bull there. Jim won champion and got a rosette. He felt amazed.
The next day Jim’s dad came home. His dad was surprised that a lot had changed while he was away and was surprised at Jim winning a prize. He was proud because Jim had fixed the roof and looked after all the animals so well. As a surprise and for looking after the farm so well, Jim got a new bull. He named him Findlay. So they all celebrated together.

The Choice

Will I take it, will I not; I was going to give it to my friend, who I fell out with the other day, but it’s so tempting, I just can’t go on. I made it last night, in despair, this will change everything. I start to take the wrapper of, no I can’t.
Stephanie and I fell out; it’s terrible, and we’ve been best friends since we were tiny, we should have never said what we said, she should have never done what we did, and we should have never got into that fight. This might solve it but it could end everything too`. This is the most risky thing I’ve done; I’m under so much pressure. I might just take it myself; I lift it to my lips, no I can’t.
I haven’t made this since I was five. It was my dad I gave it to, once he ate it, he died not long after.
I’m going to call her, “Can you come over I’ve got something to give you?”
“Ok but make it quick” she replies.
“Don’t worry it will be over in seconds” I say with a smirk.
The phone goes dead. I quiver, but put the phone down quickly.
There’s a knock at the door, Its Stephanie, I answer it, and she looks upset. I ask her what’s wrong, she doesn’t reply. I take her through to the living room, she sits in my chair, she knows it’s my chair; she just does it to annoy me.
I’d like to make everything better, to end it, but I don’t know how to do it, so I’m just going to give it to her and that will finish it. Forever!
I ask her how’s things are at her school, because we go to different schools but she just replies with one word answers. There’s no going back, she’s on her way over.

“No, I want to see what it is!” Stephanie pushed
I don’t know what to do, my hearts screaming at me telling me to do it, but my head say’s she will never take it. However it is either me or her one of us has to end it.
“Well?” she prompts me.
“Ok, ok I’ll give it you.”
“Are you going to give me it then?” she doesn’t want to be here at all. She deserves it for her attitude this will soon change her attitude.
“Ok I’ll go and get it” I run and get it out of the fridge. Will I give it to her, it’s just a waste of time, this may be the last time I see her.
I pass her it.
She takes it. Unpeels the wrapper. Inhaling its sweet smells. Lifts it to her mouth. I can’t look. Wincing, I turn around. She swallows it.
“Did you enjoy your cupcake?”
Stephanie grins. It looks as though she is happy now, we will be friends again I’m glad I didn’t eat it and ruin our friendship.
